This sounds like a groovy idea, but I'm not entirely sure I understand what kind of information you mean; is it hard facts or what we've gathered from either seeing them live or reading or watching interviews or just the opinions we've formed from the impressions left by a multitude of things?

I can't think of anything amazingly ground-breaking right now, but what I do know from first hand experience is that YFC have an unbelievable talent for whipping a crowd into a frothing-at-the-mouth frenzy. They're one of the best and most passionate live acts ever, and they have to be some of the biggest trolls the music industry has ever seen. In short; I love them :D

A bit more details on what I'm looking for k_no_uta October 24 2011, 19:12:44 UTC

^_____^ I think any inforation might be interesting. May it be facts or observations. I'm simply looking forwart to what we can gather here. *-*

I'm trying to get to know them better, find out new things and try to get a better ideo of

- who are they?
- what concepts do they have?
- what are their aims?
- where do the members come from, what's their backgrounds?
- how do we, the fans, see them? Their skills and characters?
- funny (on-stage/backstage) stories or pictures?
- what's special about them, their performance and music?

...things like that, you know. ^_~

While I can't point to any sources because most of this information has accumulated over the past 20 years or so from books, magazine interviews and such, Shinya is pretty much an icon in rock circles ( ... )

HUGE THANK YOU for so many interesting facts. I've always respected Shinya, of course, but didn't know almost anything about this great man *feels ashamed*

Takumi's Daddy excused_early October 24 2011, 21:01:27 UTC
One thing that comes to mind is....

Takumi's father, Samejima Hideki, is a former bassist of a very famous band, Hound Dog, that used to be very famous in the '80s.

This is one of their biggest hits, Fortissimo.

Takumi has often said (only two days ago on Twitter, too) that it's great to have a musician father that he can session with.
His father also pops up in the audience of many of Takumi's lives, and is spotted by some of the audience and described as being "So cool". LOL

Forgot to add...

Apparently, Takumi grew up with music and was given a lot of musical education by his father, and this, combined with the fact that his father was a HOUND DOG's bassist, made GACKT very curious about Takumi. ^^

How about some Jon?! k_no_uta October 24 2011, 23:17:53 UTC

Jonathan Underdown comes from Seattle. He's lead singer of the band fade as by now most of you probably know. But there're also some other projects he did. I'm just about to get into it myself a little.

He featured in Grand Tourismo, here some examples

Dawwwww Jon ;_;    not 100% well sung, but still dawwww. :´)

XDDDDDDDDDD OMJon I should finally start looking through all fadeTV vids, shouldn't I?

I cannot find date of birth and so far the pages with info about him seem either non-existent or well hidden. ^^'

~~~*~~~

Sauce:
bigapplestylemarketing.wordpress.com
yfrog.com Jon account
fadeTOKYO at youTube
other u-tube accounts, just follow the video.

BTW I own nothing of this.

I guess most of you already know it but U:zo was a member of Rize (together with Kaneko Nobuaki, what really suprised me). So I checked few vids...what to say, I laughed! XD
